South African Airways (SAA) has warned the public of several scams running on social media.
The first scam claims that customers have been “selected” to participate in a short survey and get two South African Airways tickets for free, with customers directed to https://saairways.com-crazytatti.site/.
“SAA’s website is www.flysaa.com. The airline is not running any competition which offers free tickets,” said SAA spokesperson, Tlali Tlali.
A second scam targeting SAA customers is also making the rounds. This is a false URL used for phishing for personal information from customers on https://flysaa.com-airlines.site/?rvq508N.
“We distance ourselves from any communication which is misleading the public and makes false claims while pretending to be an official SAA channel, or those seeking to obtain personal information,” said Tlali.
“SAA would like to urge members of the public to be cautious, protect their personal details and cross check or verify information with the company before they decide to participate in competitions or other dubious requests for personal information. It appears that SAA’s Corporate Identity and logo have been used illegally for promotional purposes. However, there is no click-through to the SAA website.”
When SAA posts competitions on social media they always click through to www.flysaa.com.
